Birthday: Difference between revisions

'''Birthdays''' occur when [[Sim]]s go to their next [[Life stages|stage of life]]. Whenever a Sim is two days away from the next age transition, a warning will pop up in the top right corner alerting the player that there are only two days to either get the Sim's aspiration score up (if the Sim is in the negative), or that there is nothing to worry about since the Sim's aspiration is already high.{{Vgversion|TS2}} The reminder also helps player to make preparations in time for a birthday [[party]], if chosen to throw one.

Twenty-four hours after that warning, the player will get another alert stating that the Sim can age.
